DATE: January 25, 2013

TO: Tax Credit Applicants

FROM: William J. Pavao, Executive Director

RE: Methodology for Determining Rural Status of Project Site

Under California law, the Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC) must set aside twenty percent (20%) of all annual nine percent (9%) federal credits for projects in rural areas (Revenue and Taxation Code 23610.5(j)(5) and Health and Safety Code 50199.20). Additionally, TCAC regulations require that all projects in rural areas compete for credits in this rural set-aside, with certain limited exceptions (CCR Section 10315(c)). Therefore, all applicants for 9% tax credits must document to the Committees satisfaction the rural or non-rural status of the project.

Rural area is defined in State statute, Health and Safety Code Section 50199.21 as an area that satisfies one of three criteria on January 1 of the calendar year in question. There are two methodologies for determining a projects rural status for TCAC applications:

1)The project must pass one of the three steps provided in this memo and detailed in Health and Safety Code Section 50199.21:

Step 1: Non-metropolitian Counties Step 2: Rural Housing Service (RHS) Eligible Area Step 3: Small City Status

2)The applicant must provide a current letter from the USDA Rural Housing Services California State Office that the project is in an RHS Section 515 eligible area (TCAC Regulation Section 10322(i)(9)).

Continue reading for complete instructions on determining rural status via the three steps under the first methodology. Please also see the attached Exhibits:

Step 1: Non-metropolitan Counties

Projects in non-metropolitan areas are considered rural. Under the current definition of metropolitan statistical area established by the US Office of Management and Budget effective in 2010 and still effective as of January 1, 2013, 21 of Californias 58 counties qualify as non-metropolitan. Projects located in the following counties are not required to provide documentation of rural status, and will be considered rural applicants:

Alpine Humboldt Modoc Tehama Amador Inyo Mono Trinity Calaveras Lake Nevada Tuolumne Colusa Lassen Plumas Del Norte Mariposa Sierra Glenn Mendocino Siskiyou

Step 2: Rural Housing Service (RHS) Eligible Area

Beyond the 21 counties listed above, areas eligible for the RHS Section 515 program are also considered rural.

The USDA Rural Development website has a list of eligible areas known as the Section 515 Designated Places List. Per TCAC Regulation Section 10315(c) and in compliance with Health and Safety Code Section 50199.21, an area is eligible under the Section 515 program on January 1 of the calendar year in question if it resides on the Section 515 Designated Places List effective on the prior September 30.

For 2013, the effective list is the 2012 Designated Places List included in Exhibit A of this memo.

Please note, the Designated Places List does not contain every area eligible for Section 515 funding; certain areas not on the list may still be eligible for Section 515 funding. For that reason, TCAC applicants should confirm Section 515 status with the USDA Rural Housing Services California State Office directly.

For 2013 TCAC applications, proceed as follows:

1)Check your projects location against locations on the 2012 Designated Places List. 2) In Tab 3 of the application, submit a printout of the page in the designated places list with

the location of your project highlighted, and evidence of your projects location within the designated place.

3) If your projects location is not listed on the 2012 Designated Places List, confirm with USDA Rural Housing Services California State Office that the area is indeed not eligible for Section 515 funding (contact information listed at end of this memo).

http:50199.21

Step 3: Small City Status

If neither Steps 1 or 2 result in a rural determination, a project site may be rural if it is within or adjoining a small city, subject to limitations detailed below:

If the project site is within or adjoins an incorporated city, refer to the State Department of Finances Report E-1 January 1, 2011 and 2012 Population Estimates included in Exhibit B of this memo. Check the citys latest population estimate. If located in an incorporated city of 40,000 or less, or in the unincorporated area adjoining that small city, the project may be considered rural if the projects census tract is not designated as an urbanized area or part of an urbanized area. Note that the states statutory definition specifies urbanized areas.

Refer to the 2010 Census Data located at the American FactFinder at the U.S. Census Bureau website.

Note: The 2010 Census designates some areas as urban clusters (i.e., areas not defined as an urbanized area but still demonstrably urban). A proposed project in an urban cluster still meets the rural definition under Step 3. Only the census designation urbanized area disqualifies a project for the rural set-aside under this step.

Proceed as follows to satisfy Step 3:

a) Go to the NEW American FactFinder at the US Census Bureau website: http://factfinder2.census.gov/main.html 1) Select Topics in the left-hand menu 2) Expand Dataset 3) Select 2010 SF1 100% Data under Dataset 4) Expand Product Type 5) Select Detailed Table under Product Type 6) 2010 SF 1 100% Data and Detailed Table should now be listed as your selections 7) Select Geographies in the left-hand menu 8) Select Address Tab 9) Type the projects existing/anticipated address 10) On the project summary table, click the projects census tract, block group, and block to

add them to your selections 11) Select Topics again 12) Click the Urban and Rural link in the list on the right

b) If the table indicates that the total population of the census tract, block group, and/or block level is rural or inside urban clusters, the site will be considered rural. If the proposed project site meets these qualifications, print the census tract table and submit it along with the population estimate in Tab 3.
